"The experience with Stone Interiors was first rate. They are out in the country, a short distance to travel, but well worth it. They have a very large inventory of stone and not only could we choose the pattern but we also were able to choose the slab. The sales person was helpful and professional as were the installers who arrived on time, as scheduled, and installed the 2 countertops without any problems. We would recommend this company whole-heartedly, and have already. <br />"

"On September 23, we met Steve from PLD at our house. While he was a good listener, he talked about possibly doing a larger project than we had in mind. But once he understood that we didn't need under paver drainage lines, he was happy to modify the design. The project contract was signed Nov 2021 and deposit of 1/3 given. The start date was set up then that fit with their schedule and ours. To my surprise, the actual start date was the exact date previously decided- Jan 26, 2022. A team of seven came and wasted no time getting into the job. They were incredibly hard working. During excavation the house water line and an irrigation line were broken, which we were warned may happen. The house water supply was repaired within two hours. The other could wait as it was not in use in January. Whenever there were questions, the team leader came to me. He wanted to be sure I was happy. In the early few days, we met the job superintendent, Jason. He gave us his cell and asked us to call, if there was any concern at all, 24/7. It was clear to me from the beginning, that this team was going to install the pavers exactly according to my direction and in a very precise manner. In several instances, we made changes to the original design, either at their suggestion or ours. I was very happy that these changes did not incur further labor costs, just some material costs. The end result is beautiful. We have had multiple compliments from friends and family. While the project was expensive, according to my previous hopes, we are extremely pleased overall. In addition, the project used less material than planned for and this was reflected by a reduced final bill. In November, I had planned to withhold 10% until after I was completely satisfied with the installation, but I was so happy with the results that I did not withhold any money. I highly recommend this company for your hardscape project!"

"This experience was outstanding from start to finish. Buddy arrived on time for the estimate, provided a fair price and didn't try to sell me more than I needed. The job was in a confined area of downtown Charleston which would have ordinarily required many trips with a small truck. I was okay with paying for this, but without prompting, he negotiated with the owner of a neighboring lot to eliminate this cost and passed the savings along. That's customer service! The gravel has been installed for a month now and still looks great. Overall, my experience was excellent and they receive my highest recommendation."

"Williford Roofing assessed the problem and recommended two options - spot application of a flat roof sealant product in the area where the leak was occurring or apply the sealant to the entire roof. While applying to the entire roof would provide a warranty, Williford expected that the lower cost, spot application would resolve the issue. We opted for that, with the understanding that if the smaller application did not resolve the issue we could later have the entire roof repaired. So far, the work has held up very well and no leaks have been noted despite heavy rain. Another roofing contractor had previously attempted repairs but did not stop the leak. Thanks for the good work."

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Charleston, SC

To calculate how much pea gravel you need for your project, multiply the length, width, and depth of the area you want to cover to find the volume in cubic feet. Then, divide that number by 27 to convert it to cubic yards to determine the amount of pea gravel you need.

A yard of pea gravel weighs about 1.3 tons or 2,600 pounds. Keep in mind that wet gravel weighs more than dry, and different types of gravel can vary in weight. For example, due to its density, river rock weighs significantly more than crushed stone and pea gravel.

The ideal depth for pea gravel depends on the type and size of your project. You'll need at least two to three inches for walkways and patios and a minimum of six inches for driveways to support heavy vehicles and prevent shifting over time. Aim for a depth of three to four inches in decorative garden beds or drainage areas.

Pea gravel is attractive, versatile, and low-maintenance. It provides excellent drainage, making it ideal for pathways, driveways, and garden beds. On the downside, its sharp texture isn't ideal for bare feet, and it can be challenging to weed or remove once installed. It can also shift underfoot without proper edging, creating an uneven surface.

Alternative landscaping materials you can use instead of pea gravel include wood chips, decomposed granite, crushed stone, pebbles, quartz, mulch, sand, and river rock. These materials offer different aesthetics, performance, and costs, so it’s important to do your research to determine which one best fits your landscape design and budget.

Many homeowners choose pea gravel because it requires minimal upkeep compared to other landscaping materials. You'll need to rake it occasionally to redistribute the stones and maintain an even surface. Pros also recommend installing weed barrier fabric beneath the gravel to prevent unwanted growth, although some weeds may still appear over time.
